Title: Laboratory Centrifuge Machine
1Parts of Laboratory Centrifuge And Its Function
2Different laboratories use certain tools and
methods to produce samples of different
densities. Laboratory centrifuges are widely used
by laboratories for this purpose. These
laboratory equipment rotate at high speeds to
separate from the solution or mixture at the
required speed.
3The samples and it's component can then be used
for various purposes. Laboratory centrifuges are
also used to separate blood into its components -
plasma consisting of platelets, white blood cells
and red blood cells. The red blood cells are the
heaviest of the three and so, these are flung to
the bottom of the centrifuge.
4These can be used by a hospital to help patients
suffering from anemia via transfusion. White
blood cells separated from whole blood are used
to help patients suffering from leukemia (cancer
of the blood) as they do not have many white
blood cells and so, their immune systems are weak.
5Platelet-rich plasma is separated from whole
blood for patients suffering from cancer because
chemotherapy destroys the bone marrow and so,
platelet-rich plasma would be required to prevent
or stop them from bleeding. This is given to them
via platelet transfusion.
6Centrifuges can be used in laboratories involved
in nuclear weaponry-the uranium isotope,
uranium-238, is heavier than uranium hexafluoride
gas and so these are more concentrated along the
walls of the centrifuge, allowing one to extract
the required isotope (uranium-235) and use this
for the enrichment of nuclear weapons.
7These laboratory centrifuges can be used to
separate petroleum from its components which
would allow them to use the components for other
purposes. Different kinds of centrifuges are
available for various purposes.
8Small centrifuges (also known as micro
centrifuges or microfibers) can be used in
laboratories, but they are now used in all
laboratories. They have small plastic tubes that
can hold small amounts of samples. Refrigerated
models are available for samples that may be
affected by warm temperatures or a change in
temperature.
9They are equipped with condensers and compressors
which helps keep them internally cool and allow
substances to be centrifuged at low temperatures.
All models are equipped with motors that would
allow them to separate the solid in the fluid by
flinging these to the bottom of the centrifuge.
10Laboratory centrifuges are very useful for a
number of purposes. They are used to help a
country strengthen their nuclear weaponry. These
can be used to separate petrol from its
components which would benefit many other
industries.
11Hospitals can use various components of blood
according to the patients' requirements or to
help impregnate a woman with a healthy child,
free of potential sex-related diseases.
12Since they are available in different sizes they
can be used by laboratories in a convenient
manner which would allow them to protect,
preserve, separate and analyze the mixture.
Therefore, centrifuges help a number of
industries and people in various, beneficial and
useful ways.
